Plagiarism Policy

Plagiarism Policy

  1. Definition of Plagiarism:

        Plagiarism includes using another’s ideas, text, figures or data without attribution; self-plagiarism (reusing one’s own previously published work without acknowledgement); and duplicate/submitted elsewhere simultaneously.

  1. Originality Requirement:

Only original manuscripts, not under consideration elsewhere and not previously published, are eligible for submission to IJCNW.

  1. Proper Citation and Attribution:

Authors must provide full and proper citations of all sources, acknowledge reused materials (text, tables, figures) and where required secure permissions.

  1. Plagiarism Detection:

        All submissions to IJCNW are screened with plagiarism detection software (e.g., iThenticate, Turnitin or equivalent) before peer review. High similarity index triggers further investigation.

  1. Consequences of Plagiarism:

      Manuscript rejected immediately if plagiarism is detected during pre-review.

     If plagiarism is discovered post-publication: article may be retracted; a retraction notice published; authors and their institutions notified in serious cases of misconduct.
